Sorry bout the below post, it's 3 part and <BR>has to be read from bottom to top...once I <BR>made the order of posting mistake I had to <BR>just keep going. I know some dont want to <BR>hear rants or complaints but there is a <BR>truth to be known...the only realistic hope <BR>this company has of reaching it's potential <BR>is drive into ground/sell/rebirth!

When they were trying to get into the electronics shopping sectors of many shopping comparison websites (ie froogle) to promote their new electronics sections and x10 stuff the managers actually decided to take their reps and other employees away from the phone for a few minutes each day to post fictitous consumer comments about x10 at these sites to make themselves look better.

Result...many of the portals noticed the discrepancy of reviews coming from the same IP Pool and canned the bogus comments.

People need to get their head out of their butts. Fanatic:A person marked or motivated by an extreme, unreasoning enthusiasm, as for a cause. If you get upset about being called a fanatic, then put the twinkies down and look in the mirror. Say to myself, I have no life and am an indiot! Life is too short and full of other wonderful things. People take things too serious today and sue way too much. Grow up, will you. Yeah, the company has issues, they have an odd marketing approach and it seems like it is working since you are here wasting your time with this forum. You probably tell your friends about it then they probably go look at the site, guess what, you did what they wanted. Think people or I will kick your dog!

As like another person wrote. You can go off on me but this will be the last time I am in this forum reading a bunch of whiny BS.

Their comprehension of the English language is scary. To call people fanatics knowing they are not is not only insulting but it is deliberately dishonest and even mean ... as Marie said.

They are upsetting people who could no doubt be referred to as "fans" - but to be fanatical about any object would be idolatry.

They are obviously being bomnarded with e- mails asking them to show respect for their customers - and potential customers - which they ignore.

If anyone is "fanatical" it is X-10 in their fanatical abuse of their customers. Even if the terms they are using to insult people is not meant to be an insult - the fact that they now KNOW it is insulting, and continue to intentionally hurt people show how very little they care about people in general. Never mind their business ... they are mean spirited, cruel people.

If you had a son named Frederick, and he told you that he did not like the name "Fred", but preferred "Frederick" ... would you consider his feelings, or just continue to refer to him as Fred?

Well, if you are a humane, thinking, caring person you would consider this person. Not yell at him and tell him that there is nothing insulting about the word "Fred".

That is the difference between caring and insulting.

X-10 people should be ashamed of themselves for their uncaring, hurtful manner. Only in America. Thankfully.
